Tom Cruise is so in love with Katie
At least all his people tell him so
And while he thinks that she’s a very special lady
It’s probably not the way he’d choose to go
And a lifetime of longing looks would cause too much distraction
Good thing that he’s not gay anymore

Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise crazy
Just be glad it’s him not you
If you had Tom Cruise’s troubles
You might be Tom Cruise crazy too
You’d flash your big white shiny smile
You’d buy expensive shoes
But you’d be the only man on Earth
Who couldn’t enjoy Tom Cruise
Oh no, you couldn’t enjoy Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise is always getting older
He knows he’ll never be that young again
And when Tom Cruise looks back over his shoulder
He says a thousand younger leading men
He knows someday he’ll have to play
An old retarded grandpa
While someone younger plays his sexy son

Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise crazy
Just be glad it’s him not you
If you had Tom Cruise’s troubles
You might be Tom Cruise crazy too
You’d flash your big white shiny smile
You’d buy expensive shoes
But you’d be the only man on Earth
Who couldn’t enjoy Tom Cruise
Oh no, you couldn’t enjoy Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise knows somewhere there’s a place for him
He’s not of this world anymoreâ€¦

Somewhere in some secluded castle
Poor Tom Cruise sits staring at the wall
And the outside world is always such a hassle
Sometimes he won’t go out at all
There are millions who know his name
Everybody loves him
Why is it that he feels so alone?

Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise crazy
Just be glad it’s him not you
If you had Tom Cruise’s troubles
You might be Tom Cruise crazy too
You’d flash your big white shiny smile
You’d buy expensive shoes
But you’d be the only man on Earth
Who couldn’t enjoy Tom Cruise
Oh no, you couldn’t enjoy Tom Cruise

No, no… don’t worry. This post isn’t about some super secret limited edition figure from Mattel. Not this year!

While I was back home for the holidays I got to go visit the home of one of my best friends "Dr. Loopy." He and I got back into collecting togther back in 1990 and he’s been going strong ever since. He’s always loved the DC Direct statues (yeah, he has the first Superman, and Sandman from before it was even CALLED DC Direct). He also has a VERY understanding wife, and together they decorated the house for Christmas.

Above his mantle he has the Alex Ross print "The Original Seven" from the last days of the Warner Brothers Studio Stores, and has the DC Direct statues of the characters arranged in the same order. The Santa hats came from the $1 store, Batman’s beard and Green Lantern’s coat were both from an ornament he dismantled. If you look hard enough at the "his and her’s" stockings you will see the Mattel JLU Superman in his and Wonder Woman in hers.

I just loved this display and had to take some pictures of it.

There were several others that I didn’t end up with pictures of (like the Atom), but here are a few others from the other bookshelf.

About Me:

Julius Marx was know the world over for 10 years as the title character in the long running TV cop-on-the-edge show “Hockuly!” Now he writes about and takes pictures of toys and attempts to put all his weird knowledge to work for him. He has been collecting toys his entire life.
